FROED One Government Center Fall River, MA 02722-7700 Tel 508-324-2620 Fax 508-677-2840 info@froed.org		Nearly 100 years ago, the City of Fall River secured its place as the textile capital of the world. Massive granite mill buildings stretched along the Quequechan and Taunton rivers, and the waters powered the city into an industrial giant. With an abundance of jobs, the city attracted talented workers from around the globe. Elegant Victorian mansions and the Fall River Line steamships became tangible symbols of Fall River's great wealth and prosperity. Today, the City of Fall River is embarking on a second renaissance. Efforts to diversify the city's economy are proving successful, leading to new growth in both the manufacturing and service sectors. While gleaming new buildings are the mainstays of Fall River's thriving business parks, the historic mills continue to provide employment opportunities for thousands of the city's 92,000 residents. As a result, Fall River is enjoying its lowest unemployment rates in more than a decade. Click HERE to visit the official web site of the City of Fall River
